Easy & Raw Zucchini Pasta Salad
A light and healthy meal in only 15 minutes. This raw zucchini noodle salad is made with fresh veggies and a cheesy vegan pesto. Super simple and delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 zucchini
- 200 g lima beans / butter beans drained. White beans or chickpeas are good substitutes
- 150 g cherry tomatoes
- 1 avocado
- 2-3 tbsp vegan pesto topped
- sesame seeds optional - as topping
- lemon zest optional - as topping
Instructions
- Thinly slice the zucchini into raw zucchini noodles. To get the thin slices I use a multi-purpose box grater. When there is not much left of the zucchini and it is a bit difficult to use the grater you can use a knife to thinly slice the rest of the zucchini noodles.
- Cut each of the cherry tomatoes into four pieces.
- Cut the avocado into small slices.
- Add the zucchini noodles, lima beens (drained), cherry tomatoes, avocado and pesto to a large bowl and mix carefully but well. I love this easy and cheesy vegan pesto recipe. For this salad you can make your own pesto or use a store bought one.
- Serve your raw zucchini noodle salad topped with sesame seeds and lemon zest (optional).
